It was actually from Bill Me Later... This is what it says on the e-mail.

We're sorry that we were unable to authorize your recent attempt(s) to use Bill Me Later®. Your purchase caused you to exceed the Credit Line on your account and we are unable to approve an increase at this time.

The following reason(s) led to our decision:The proportion of balances to credit limits is too high on bank revolving or other revolving accounts in your credit file.The proportion of loan balances to loan amounts on your credit file is too high.The time since the most recent account opening on your credit file is too short.You have too many recent inquiries in your credit file.On an ongoing basis, your Credit Line will be either the highest total of balances you have had outstanding on your account at any time or a lower amount of which you have received notice, but will not be less than the amount stated in your Account Agreement. If you attempt to make a purchase that will cause you to exceed your Credit Line, we will reevaluate your Credit Line at the time of purchase, subject to credit approval.

While we do use your credit report information to make decisions to raise credit lines, Bill Me Later does not make an inquiry to your credit report for each such request. Please be assured that the number of purchase attempts you make with Bill Me Later will not impact your credit score.

Re: Equifax score different then MyFico score?

Bump. I am having a similar experience, but I'm trying to obtain my first auto loan. All my scores are coming back with large differences in score. I know that lenders pull differently but the difference is +/- 30 points, and th lenders are pulling the higher scores. My denial from Fifth Third says my Equifax score is 672 as of Feb 5, 2013, my denial from PNC says my Experian score is 635 as of Feb 15, 2013 and the Equifax score I purchased from myfico is showing as 633 as of Feb 20, 2013. I haven't gone over my reports with a fine tooth comb but the annual report I pulled doesn't look wrong. I know scores can be different but this different is very confusing.

Your FICO scores across the 3 CRAs will be different due to the differences in what is on your CRs. As far as the two different EQ scores, they are both FICO scores but, different versions.
